How to Get Chapstick Stain Out of Clothes That Have Been Dried

The first tube of Chapstick was created by Dr. Charles Browne Fleet in the early 1880s and originally looked like a small candle covered with foil. Today, Chapstick is sold across the globe, from the United States to South Korea and New Zealand. The modern formula for Chapstick brand lip balm contains beeswax, camphor, Vitamin E and aloe, all ingredients that melt into a garment after it is placed in the dryer. It is possible to remove set-in Chapstick stains from your clothing.
